“Milling said he did not care what the reason for Gliessner’s absence was. The real issue, he said, was that Gleissner never contacted the plaintiffs’ lawyers — or his own clients — to tell them he would be unable to attend.”
WOW. For some reason this really shocked me. Certainly not what I would expect. Sounds like someone will be making a little less this year!

I don’t know if anyone else saw Cam Newton on ESPN talking about Martin Luther King. The segment was called something like “Content of Character”. I almost fell off the treadmill. It turns my stomach to see the way the NCAA and ESPN have portrayed Newton as an outstanding person with character and charisma. I know people change, but between his Father asking for money and his own actions when he was caught with a stolen laptop I just can’t get passed his past.

After reading the excessive celebration article I am madder at the SEC officials than ever. If what the UT QB Bray did in the bowl game the throat slash at the other team’s bench was not tauting then there is no such thing. I realize these were not SEC officials but that is so SEC like. The SEC selectively enforces more calls and non-calls than any other conference. Fairly would have been flagged and fines in the NFL for the hits he made on Aaron but the SEC ref just ignores them. There is no holding on the offense line in the SEC there is a a flag for tackling a DL but short of a tackle it is not holding. There is no call for taunting in the SEC but don’t call attention to yourself or it’s 15. We are doomed, our players celebrate a good tackle in a loosing game. I guarantee at least one loss in 2011 because of this rule and it will be on the Defense because I don’t think our O will score that much. The NCAA is trying their best to suck all the emotion out of the game and I think they have found a sure fire way of doing it.
